Well, if ever there was a chill winter wind in the air, it was this evening in the square. After a very busy afternoon of handing out presents, Santa’s little helpers and a crowd from the town gathered in the square with Ards Mayor Angus Carson, Clrs Joe Boyle & Kieran McCarthy, as Mrs J Carson (the power behind the throne !!) threw the switch and lit up the town square while the local Methodist Church Choir sang Christmas Carols. Oh and of course we all looked towards the sky for a glimpse of the retreating sleigh. Click here for pictures.

Don’t forget to call at the country market next Saturday, the 9th, for your Santa Pictures.
